Operating as usual
Now is the time to teach our kids about the magic of the holiday season. It's not about the gifts, matching pajamas, or fancy trip we took our kids on for the holiday, but rather the time we spent with them creating traditions and memories together as a family. It's easy to lose sight of this scrolling through our feed, but the magic is right in your home. #magicoftheseason #holidaymagic #reasonfortheseason #familymemories
It’s a busy time of year and we understand and can appreciate needing those last minute gifts that don’t reveal it’s a last minute gift, but show careful thought went into the idea. A Smitten Films gift card is the perfect gift that allows your loved ones to organize their videos and photos and create a beautiful family film to treasure their memories together. We make it easy to order. DM us and we’ll take care of the rest! #uniquegifts #lastminutegifts #holidaymemories #thoughtfulgifting #giftsforthefamily
Feeling grateful, on this day and always, for the memories we have created with our families and for all the support our Smitten families show us. Wishing you all a day filled with Smitten-worthy memories spent with loved ones 💕 #thanksgiving #holidayseason #grateful #thankful
Jumping for joy over here as we are finalizing 2021 Year in Review films. We absolutely love this time of year and enjoy seeing how much our client's families have grown, as well as all the memories they've created over the last 12 months. If you need us, you can find us watching and re-watching all the special moments from the year shared between our Smitten families... 📷 @talktorach
Whether you were fortunate enough to travel, near or far, or instead created memories with your loved ones at home, there are so many moments worth celebrating from this past year. We at Smitten are strong advocates that your memories shouldn't just sit stored away on your computer or phone, which is why a Smitten Year in Review film makes for the perfect gift for your loved ones. Enjoying these videos and photos together will inspire you to go create more good times. Pictured here, Smitten founder @lisa.k.Ridd and her family took a vacation to Costa Rica to close out the summer and spend quality time together. It was exactly what they needed ahead of the back-to-school chaos, and made the perfect setting to create unforgettable memories. As we firm up our holiday orders, be sure to reach out to us to secure your spot in our production schedule before it’s too late! #holidaygiftguide #giftideas #thoughtfulgifts #uniquegiftideas #familymemories
Your baby’s giggle. Your kids snuggling on the couch together. A bubble bath. These little moments are where we find our truest joy. This year we hope you took the time to pause and celebrate these simple, but sweet moments.

It makes for the perfect holiday gift, and is something you will enjoy together for years to come. 📷 @ourownhygge #giftideas #thoughtfulgifts #uniquegifts #holidaygiftgiving #holidaygiftguide
After speaking with clients, we've found that more than anything us mamas want the gift of positive shared experiences and a way to remember the good times that were had with our family.

The holidays are our busiest time of year, so be sure to contact us to reserve your spot in our production schedule. #holidayseason #holidaygifts #giftideas #giftguide
Of course we are firm believers that a video tells the most perfect story, but we also understand that many of our clients want to experience snuggling up on a couch and flipping through a book of their most cherished memories. Last year, after years of demand, we decided to offer photo book services to our clients, many of which have found this to be the perfect complement to enjoying their memories on the big screen. A photo book commemorating 2021 makes for the ultimate holiday gift, so contact us to learn more about how you can get started and gift something truly special for the big day! #holidaygifts #giftguide #giftsforhim #giftsforher #holidayseason

Our signature film is a Year in Review film and makes for the most perfect holiday gift. It allows family's to treasure and celebrate all the fun memories created and shared together in 2021, and is something that will be enjoyed for generations to come.

It can be so easy to wish away the day and pray for it to be bedtime so you get some time to yourself. We often get wrapped up with getting the kids ready for bed and straightening up the house that we almost forget to see how cute and sweet your little ones are right in front of you. But then we catch ourselves witnessing the cuteness and magic that they bring to our lives and it all seems just right. Here's your weekly PSA to snap a photo! 📷 @5lyes #magicofchildhood #lifewithlittles #littlemoments #familymemories #documentyourdays
Get you a friend that will not only be your support system, but also take you on a fabulous vacation to an exotic location...Recently one of our clients was fortunate enough to be whisked away to Costa Rica by one of her closest friends, and as a thank you gift reached out to us to create a Smitten Travel Film to commemorate their time together. If you too have been a lucky recipient of a vacation and are looking for a thoughtful gift to thank your host, contact us to learn about how we can help you create something memorable to express your gratitude. #summermemories #travelkeepsake #replayreliverepeat #thankyougifts

In support of #worldbreastfeedingweek we want to highlight the need to protect and promote women’s access to breastfeeding resources. Breastfeeding is an emotional journey and having access to services that support mamas during this time is imperative. Ultimately everyone has their own breastfeeding story, and no matter how your baby was fed, the strength we have as mamas is incredibly inspiring 💕 📷 @scdesigns_

It's been a minute since we've posted "Moments into Memories with Smitten Films" but we're thrilled to bring this back, and especially excited to be featuring @jassnow and her family for the month of July. These days more than ever we are all dreaming of vacation, and watching the Snow family relishing those summer beach days and seeing those smiles gives us all the feels. Summer travel may look different this year, but we can still dream about the days ahead and where we want to travel to. Where's the first place you and your family will be headed when days are sunnier? Share below so we can get dreaming ☁️
Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads who bring us all joy and laughter each day. Father's Day is one of our most special seasons at Smitten Films. This year especially, we have felt pure joy seeing all the adorable moments between dads and their kids while making Father's Day films for our clients. Check out this sweet video one family made for their dad to remind him just how special he is 💕 #happyfathersday #dadlife
Memorial Day weekend may have looked a little different this year, but the opportunity to explore a new hiking trail, start a new book you've been dying to read, and create memories with your family are still very much open. While many vacations have been cancelled the past few months, it's important to shift our perspective and appreciate these uninterrupted days we'll never get back. Today and everyday we’re grateful to those who have sacrificed so much for our country 🇺🇸 Check out this fun video of @lisa.k.ridd and her family learning to make ice cream together as they make the most of this long weekend and celebrate family time 🍦#memorialdayweekend2020 #familymemories #grateful
Grateful to all the heroes who are on the frontlines fighting this pandemic ❤️ THANK YOU 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #nyctough #clapbecausewecare #healthcareworkers
Recently Smitten's founder, @lisa.k.ridd, had the privilege of sitting down with @theideamix to speak to her journey of launching Smitten Films, the challenges she's overcome, and what she's learned along the way. As we listen to her podcast and are reminded of how far Smitten has come, from Lisa hiring the first employee 2 1/2 years in, to now overseeing a team of mom's behind Smitten's storytelling, we couldn't be more proud to call her our fearless leader. Check out our stories to hear from our founder and get a sneak peek from her recording session with BTS footage.

This sweet First Year film serves as another reminder for how quickly the time passes in a baby’s first year. As time goes on and your child begins to do new things it can be difficult to remember back to the days when they were just learning how to roll over, crawl, and babble, as cute as it is. A First Year Smitten Film captures those priceless milestones and ensures you have those memories to relive forever. Bring back those baby memories and check out our link in bio for how you can start your child’s First Year Smitten Film today. We’re currently offering $100 off First Year Films for the month of February so don’t wait! (first time clients, Director's Cut only). #newbornmoments #babysfirstyear #replayreliverepeat
*PRO TIP* We've said it before, and we'll say it again: It's SO important to shoot horizontal when capturing photos and videos. The devices that we watch content on are widescreen, so if your videos and images are vertical there will be a lot of blank space on either side of the imagery. Plus shooting horizontally allows you to capture much more of what you see and gives you a wider canvas. #shoothorizontal #photographytips #photographytipsandtricks
We loved working with the warm and kind @allierizzo on a film of her snuggly son Henry’s first six months. 👶🏼 Allie commissioned this film as a holiday gift and can’t wait to watch it with her husband, parents and in-laws this Christmas. 🎄 While we make many, many Year in Review films for a baby’s first year, we are also always happy to make a film recapping a shorter amount of time (like Henry’s first six months) - especially when there’s an occasion like Christmas that makes the film especially apropos. We know Allie already felt overwhelmed by the amount of footage she had captured of Henry in the first six months alone... and felt pretty relieved to have Smitten come in and get her organized and celebrating her memories! And now she’s got an amazing holiday gift to give all the people she loves most, too!
Still looking for that special gift for your spouse, parents or in-laws this year? We can honestly say that a Year In Review film is the most thrilling gift for a family who wants to treasure and celebrate all the fun-filled times they shared together in 2018. We can do a film of your year or of a special family trip. These digital heirlooms will be loved for generations! Contact us to create your film today, or to buy a gift card so that your loved one can make one with us in 2019.

To all the lovely mamas following us, this one ☝🏼☝🏼is for YOU! We collaborated with our favorite fellow Tribeca mama, @mamaandtata, and @kiralovest to bring you our first ever #smittenproduction celebrating all the hard work you do and the beautiful love you spread. We learned a few important things shooting this video: 1) your kids love and appreciate you just the way you are 2) we love how they are always noticing/loving on us, just like we are always noticing/loving on them (after all, what is love but really paying attention to that person and their needs) 3) reinforced what we already knew - that moms are EVERYTHING and 4) that we are ready to roll out more #smittenproduction, so drop us a line to enquire more about what this entails. Happy Mother’s Day to all you lovely mamas out there, doing what is you do best…you (ps - head over to @mamaandtata, she is sponsoring a great Mother’s Day giveaway today and pps check out our stories to some more #bts from the shoot!). #mothersday #thesmittenlife #productionlife
On this first day of 2018, we're honored to share a Smitten First Years Film that we recently made for Mother Untitled founder Neha Leela Ruch. The videos and images of her son Bodie's first two years are adorable, but the images of Neha laughing, cheers-ing and dancing her way into motherhood are equally delightful. What a beautiful celebrations of the new chapters they have both walked into! Here's to your new journeys in 2018 and all that lies ahead. Happy New Year!
Brrr it’s getting cold out there! Hope this image will warm you up... Have you ever seen someone so snuggly? Could someone get this little lady some cocoa please?
#alltheholidayfeels as we get into the month of December! Try this #smittentip while you put up your holiday decorations: prop up your phone, set it to time lapse, walk away and get all hands on deck (and yes, expect funny faces to the camera from 8 year olds)! So much love and so much fun.
Wishing you a warm and fuzzy Thanksgiving with love, apples, and Smitten-worthy memories. That should do it. #happythanksgiving2017 #theonesthatyoulove #thesmittenlife
